EMMAUS Health Centre, has got its move and a real recognition of being such developing health center due to the recognizable efforts of our Brother and Friend ‘Kaka’2 Dr. Med. Beat Franz Ineichen. He is our good and big sponsor to our Health Facility (EMMAUS Health Centre) from Switzerland, since he visited to Tanzania since October 2012. As he came to Tanzania, he came as a tourist, and accommodated to our community, as he stayed, one of our community founder Sr. Maria Nicola get ill and Brother Beat Saw it. As a retired Medical Doctor from Switzerland, he loved to help and treat her from our facility (as a Dispensary at that time). He took her and like to take a fullblood picture so he can diagnose her, but alas! He found we have nothing to what he had in his head by comparison to how dispensary would look like.

He felt so pity and said, “I real get late to know Emmaus in my entire life, I wish I could know it before”. He gets back to his country and promised to help us when he’ll returns. As he planned and promised he came back on September 2013, and there he and his Rotary Club Entlebuch, together with his many friends, helped us to renovate and build our facility. They also give us Health equipment for OPD and to the Laboratory, such as full blood picture machine, Ultrasound machine, ECG Machine, Audio-Metric Machine, Urinalysis Machine, Lung Function Machine, Hemoglobin machine, Beds, Wheel Chairs, Office Furniture and more other health facilities.

We real say he is a good source for all the developments that we have at present in our facility such as, we had only three (3) member staffs but for now we have 18 staff members, though they are not enough compare to the services we provide. He also due to his help, we now able to treat and serve more than 639 patients per month compare to previous years that we served only about 130 to 382 patients per month. According to National plan of the Big Result Now (BRN) done to our facility on 19/10/2016 we raised our stars from one to three stars out of five this was due to his effort as well.

He is also a source of knowing and getting help from different people and partners from Switzerland and different part of the world as his friends, as family members, not only but also the government of Switzerland. He has made us to remember the beautiful and well understandable words of St.
Theresa of Calcutta, that; “Together we can do something good for God.” So, for what he has done, he real played a huge part to these moving steps of our dispensary developments which is now a Health Centre – EMMAUS Health Centre. So, we are humbly to say thank you Kaka Beat, due to your efforts to us. As you have a big, opening and a giving heart that helped us to open our eyes and see wider and wider, a truth coming dream, a strong and a developing Health Facility, of EMMAUS Health Centre.
